Is our relationship normal? Do we have sex often enough? You may have already asked yourself these questions since getting into a relationship. And let us reassure you right away: you are completely normal! In the whirlwind of everyday life and the busy weeks we experience, it is normal for some activities and habits to be temporarily put aside from time to time. Sex is no exception and is sometimes pushed to the back burner for a few days...or weeks.
An American study reveals that, over the long term, couples who have sex only once a week may suffer as a result. This has nothing to do with “the norm” or statistics, but having sex with your partner a few times during the week may help maintain a deeper sexual connection between the 2 partners. Obviously, this average can sometimes be difficult to reach, and couples need to remain realistic based on their lives and circumstances.
A happy couple is one that has a satisfying sex life, regardless of how many times they end up under the covers for a steamy moment. The frequency of sexual relations varies greatly from one couple to another and, depending on certain factors, it is even normal for this frequency to vary within the couple itself.. Fatigue, work, stress, grief, or illness can negatively affect (understandably!) the number of times a couple has sex in a week.
And for those who believe that all of this is a matter of hormones, well, you should know that you are wrong. Indeed, hormones have a notable influence on sexual desire, but they have no power over the frequency of sexual relations. And remember...sexual activity does not always have to involve penetration. Some couples rarely or occasionally engage in full penetration and have a completely normal and fulfilling sex life!
Obviously, we cannot finish this article without offering you a few statistics because, yes, despite the fact that we all know we should not compare ourselves...we all do it secretly!
According to popular demand, it seems that men and women are on the same sexual wavelength between the ages of 35 and 40. At this stage of their lives, men make more room for foreplay and caresses. They accept and engage in longer, gentler sexual relations. For their part, women become more accepting of their sexuality when they reach their mid-thirties and let themselves go more easily. Sexx Plus also offers you a little help to enhance foreplay with this “board game” that will set the mood and increase sexual desire in your relationship. https://sexxxplus.com/fr/orgasmixxx
And finally...just to compare ourselves a little, note that 45% of couples have sex once a week. This statistic rises to twice a week among 18-44-year-olds. And remember that 1 in 2 women would like to have sex more than once a week. Happy comparing!
